The first time I heard this I was painting a painting. It was so energetic, so wild and intense! I just had to hear it again. Today I found myself jumping up to dance, as I could not resist these grooves. I thought "I love this but am I getting to old for wild shit like this?? Then I thought FUCK NO, SHUT UP AND GROOVE!!! I LOVE THIS!!!! I'll be too old when I'm dead, right now its called "GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN CHILDREN!" Too many juicy tracks to just pick one fav sorry... So fucking good!!!

Paranoid London, the electronic band of Gerardo Delgado and Quinn Whalley, has become synonymous with stripping acid house back down to its basics, rescuing the sound from smiley faces, rave, and sugary excess while paying respects to its gay, black, American roots. Performing mainly live with hardware only, often with vocal guests, as well as unique hybrid DJ sets, the duo has established a tongue in cheek, grumpy punk sound and attitude without taking it too seriously.
Following 2019’s latest album PL and a bunch of 12” singles and edits, their new long-player Arseholes, Liars, and Electronic Pioneers refers to the cavalcade of c***s we find ourselves surrounded by. Our only respite being the joy that musical geniuses bring. The cover artwork and gatefold of the vinyl reflect this with a collage-like poster including personalities of all kinds, from politicians and royalty to music legends. When we asked them to highlight key music pioneers from their picks, they mentioned American electro don Aldo Marin, British producer Andrea Parker and Post Punk band WIRE.
Inspired by early ‘90s British prog house on the likes of Sabres Of Paradise Records and Guerilla Records, the album presents a step up on their production while the anarchic attitude remains unaltered, unadulterated and undiluted.
In Quinn’s words: the album has a slightly more Hi-Fi sound than previous efforts, but retains the urgency and punk rock attitude that we're known for. It was tested over the summer, where it lit up festival stages at Glastonbury, Houghton, Love International, and many, many others.
As expected, PL has recruited a bunch of special guests on vocals including Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, US house veteran Monica “DJ Genesis” Lockett, the novo-New Romantic/gothic, Jennifer Touch, and Joe Love, from Fat Dog, Brixton’s current ones-to-watch. As well, previous collaborators Josh Caffe and Mutado Pintado return for new recordings. All bring something unique to the party, while integrating perfectly with PL’s Fuck you! circuitry.

My favorite albums of 2022, #4.
Decadent disco of the Roman Empire. Dangerous, sweaty, hopped up on all the worst drugs, like a better version of the acid house Psychic TV attempted in the '90s. Perfect for your next Bacchanalia. Levrikon

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
Chicago house producer 400+ undergirds their crisp, minimal arrangements with varying shades of dread, but also errant glimmers of optimism. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 9, 2022
